"Hey Quicksdraw!" I was always a fan of him and Babalouie when I was a kid. This stop-action version is pretty cool too.

Not sure if this is actually allowed on this site due to Hanna-Barbera trademarks..

But I hated this cartoon when it was new, and I hate it now. It takes a real lack of talent to make a cartoon that makes the cartoon it is based on look like "Citizen Kane" in comparison.

I love this little animated video! The artwork is great with the Dia de los Muertos-style characters. It also sort of reminds me of something Tim Burton would do. The best part of the whole thing is the music by Calexico. The song is called "Minas de Cobre" It's a fantastic tune and just perfect for this animation. If you're not familiar with Calexico's music, I highly recommend them. Cheers...

This brief music video is a joy to watch in all regards. The art work is stunning and imaginativly simple, the traditional spanish guitar sound is beyond perfect for the setting, and the brief story is great and well played out.

You can also find this as a bonus item on the new Calexico DVD - World Drifts In.. Out this fall in the US (already out in Europe).

Subject: Go get em' El Kabong!
Very cute using simple, but highly advanced animation to give a tale of the wild west, a mariachi, the girls he loves, the big bad enemy, and of course, the possible rescue of everyone he knows from being tied down on the railroad tracks!!

Perhaps the most memorable part of the Quickdraw McGraw character's story arc.

Nice 'Day of the Dead' flavor to the drawings.
